Key Player Battles

Liam Livingstone vs Rashid Khan: Livingstone is London Spirit’s best batter this season, and Rashid’s leg spin is one of the toughest tests in the format. Whoever wins this contest could shape the whole game.

Jonny Bairstow vs Trent Boult: Bairstow likes to attack the new ball, and Boult swinging it back into him early is one of the best contests in white ball cricket.

Nicholas Pooran vs Adam Zampa: Pooran can clear any ground when set, and Zampa’s wrist spin in the middle overs gives London Spirit a real chance of slowing him down.

LS vs MIL Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicketkeepers: Jonny Bairstow, Nicholas Pooran,

Batters: Liam Livingstone (VC), James Vince, Dewald Brevis,

All-rounders: Sam Curran (C), Jamie Overton,

Bowlers: Rashid Khan, Trent Boult, Adam Zampa, David Willey,

Curran gets the captaincy as MI London’s in form captain and all rounder. Livingstone is vice captain as London Spirit’s most reliable batter this season. The rest of the team mixes both top orders with the main bowlers, since this ground has been fairly even between bat and ball.

LS vs MIL Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicketkeepers: Nicholas Pooran, Jonny Bairstow,

Batters: Dewald Brevis (VC), Liam Livingstone, Will Jacks

All-rounders: Sam Curran, Jamie Overton,

Bowlers: Rashid Khan (C), Trent Boult, Adam Zampa, Olly Stone,

For grand leagues, try Rashid Khan as captain. He can win a game with the ball alone and won’t be picked as much as the bigger batting names. Brevis as vice captain gives you a destructive young batter with real upside. Will Jacks and Olly Stone are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.
